Lest you take this as a general rule, message-mode is at least
theoretically separate from Gnus proper; there's a separate Info manual
for it, for example, and its various names start with message- (but not
gnus-message-).  The summary mode configuration, on the other hand, *is*
an integral part of Gnus, and gnus-summary-mode-* is correct where a
bare summary-* won't work.

There's no way to make Emacs customizations work for applications that
aren't Emacs, sorry.
